Compress videos for WhatsApp to fit the 16MB limit. WhatsApp automatically compresses videos, but doing it yourself ensures better quality control.
Percentage is applied to the original file size.
Your videos are compressed right in your browser - nothing gets uploaded to our servers or anywhere else. This means faster processing, complete privacy, and no file size limits from upload restrictions.
WhatsApp has a file size limit of 16MB. To ensure successful uploads, we recommend compressing your video to slightly below this limit. Our tool can help you target the exact file size you need.
WhatsApp works best with MP4 format using H.264 codec. This combination ensures compatibility across all devices and smooth playback.
The most common reason is file size exceeding 16MB. Other issues include unsupported formats or resolutions. Compress your video and ensure it's in MP4 format before uploading.
WhatsApp may apply its own compression after upload, which can reduce quality. By compressing your video beforehand with our tool, you have full control over the quality settings and can often achieve better results than automatic platform compression.
WhatsApp supports up to 720p. We recommend 720p for best quality, though 720p is often sufficient for mobile viewing and results in smaller file sizes.
